LAVENDER & SILVER

Blogger was acting extremely funny this morning! You may click on any of the photos to enlarge them.

OK -- this is a little editing after the fact. These dishes you have seen before, several times. They were on clearance a couple of years ago at Z Gallerie. That Italian lavender stemware was an impulse purchase in the Fall at -- where else -- Home Goods! The platinum banded goblets are Vera Wang, and those little silver wine cups are about a thousand years old. I have no idea who made them. The silver is Rondo by Gorham, the pattern I chose while a mere infant. [G(irls) R(aised) I(n) T(he) S(outh) do that.]

The pearl napkin rings I found at Belk last year (or the year before) -- things run together when you get my age, you know. The b'n'b plates were a wedding gift back in the prehistoric times when I was a jailbreak bride in early 1964! I feel like I might be talking about my Grandma...

Yowza, those dishes are pretty!!!!!!! I know you love shades of purple, and these dishes and stemware are just the reason why...SO pretty! I always love to use shades of purple as a great transitional color because purple is poppin' year round!!!

Let's get together and give Blogger a smack! I pretty much always enlarge your photos anyway just because I love to look at detail, but I understand how annoying it can be otherwise. I hope they get the problem fixed soon.

What a fabulous color for a table. It's as ethereal as the ribbons in the crystal bowl for the centerpiece. I would have succumbed to those goblets too.. It's just wonderful, dreamy and I love it!! Happiest of year to you! xo Marlis

Ellen, You were a baby girl with exquisite taste because your flatware is beautiful!!! I wonder how the price has changed in those years? I recently priced mine which I chose 30 years ago, and wow.... Your table is gorgeous--I love lavender. Happy New Year! Linda

I'm loving the mirror as placemats...I will have to remember that! Gorgeous purple dishes and napkins to match. I do need to also get something in purple myself, I just love it! Thank you for your sweet and kind comment. Looking forward to visitng you in 2013! Happy New Year!FABBY
